PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mayor James M. Ruberto will be presented the Patriot Award by representatives from the Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve at 2 on Thursday, July 16, at City Hall.
Mayor Ruberto was nominated by Air National Guard Staff Sgt. and Pittsfield’s Veteran’s Services Director Rosanne Frieri. “Mayor Ruberto’s support of the military has been Outstanding,” Frieri commented. “He has participated in multiple events from Memorial Day Ceremonies to a bridge dedication, including proclaiming: ‘All Military week in Pittsfield’. Through his efforts he continues to support the ‘HERE at HOME’ committee, welcoming home deployed soldiers. He is well deserving of this honor.”
“When I found out that Rosanne nominated me and I was chosen as a recipient of the Patriot Award I was humbled,” said Mayor Ruberto. “The men and women that serve and protect our Country and our freedoms are heroes and I will continue to support them any way that I can as the Mayor.”
The National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard conducts the awards program designed to recognize employers who support a strong National Guard and Reserve force. Employers qualify for recognition when they practice leadership and personnel policies that support employee participation in the Guard and Reserve.
